Get hold of lsdrv, and see what that tells you. (Look at the raid wiki
for details.) I don't know if it will have endian issues, but if it
doesn't an expert will probably be able to chime straight in and tell
you the create command.
The other thing is, read up on overlays because, if you overlay those
disks, you will be able to "create" without actually writing to the
disks. That way you can test - and even do a complete backup and
recovery - without ever actually writing to, and altering, the original
disks.
